In these samples it's difficult to see a big difference
between TIFF and JPEG FINE, for a camera like this it's pretty unlikely
that anyone will actually use the TIFF option (that said if it weren't
there we'd see plenty of complaining...) Dropping down to JPEG STANDARD
does introduce some JPEG artifacts although I think you would be hard
pressed to see them in a print.

Digital Effects Control (Image Processing)

The DiMAGE F100 provides control over four different parameters of its
image processing engine. The first, color mode controls the type of colour
output: normal, vivid, B&W. More familiar are Sharpness, Contrast
and Saturation each of which can be programmed to either less (-), Normal
(0) or More (+). Kudos to Minolta for providing control over these parameters,
however I would like to have seen a wider range of adjustment on each,
the current +/- don't have enough effect to be very useful.
